"I'm sorry sir, but NTL does not support UDP/IP, we only support TCP/IP"

This is the most legendary quote

That said I very very much doubt that ntl are doing this The tech support guy is, of course, making this up.
The LSP's are I believe created using LDP and thus follow the path that IS-IS dictates.
